Spendor S5e vs. S6e?

I'm wondering if anyone here has heard the Spendor S5e and S6e side-by-side. I'd really like to get a pair of S5e's and match them with the new Spendor sub, but the maple finish is out of stock and will take over two months to arrive in the US. Is the S6e worth serious consideration over the now-famous 2.5 way S5e?

I'm not interested in hearing about alternatives to Spendor - I've heard a lot of speakers and the Spendor sound is what I'm after :)

Thanks!

Hi Fi World stated the S6e was the gem in the "S" series and won their speaker of the year.

Having heard both, the S6e justifies the higher price. The S5e was a bit better value but the price has gone up, now the S6e is the best value in the line in my opinion. You should listen to both before you allow reviews to make your decision. They both sound very good.
